Fw: W98 Programs menu

I originally sent this just to Peter as it's sort of OT but it seems others
would like to know how to do this. Mind you, this only works in Win98. For
95 pre-IE5 (or is it 4? Well try it and see) you'll have to use a character
before the folder/program name (i.e. 1 - Accessories, 2 - Dreamweaver, 3 -
etc.) to get it to alphabetize itself.

You can do this in the registry but it's a huge HUGE pain (it's all in hex;
good luck!!!). In Win98 the easiest way is to click the program once, hold
it, and drag it in the order you want. For folders you have to double-click
and hold the second click to drag it.

As this is OT, please can you reply direct to me.

All the programs in the Start -> Programs menu are listed in the order I
installed them on my computer, not in alphabetical order. How can I change
this?  I believe I need to change a registry entry, but I'm not sure which.

TIA,
Peter.
P.S There is a  link with web design - Dreamweaver is right at the bottom of
the list and I'm losing precious nanoseconds by looking up at the top of the
list :-)
